In general, cabernet, merlot, zinfandel and even some of the sturdier pinot noir based wines will work well with filet, but you can't just buy by general grape type. Producer and vintage are very important.
For instance, if you are going for a california cabernet, you'd be wise to avoid the '98 and '00 vintages and go for '97's (one of the best vintages of the decade) and '99's (not quite as good, but still reliable).
How much are you willing to spend?
edited to add: Women also tend to like champagne. If you want to impress, many recent vintages of Dom Perignon (and many other prestige cuvees) can be had for under $100 a bottle if you know where to look.

No, sorry no wine list. I just checked.
I can go up to $150.00/bottle, but not much more than that.
